Intoxilyzer 8000 (BrAC) 0.547 is really mouth alcohol, CBS video.ASF

Clap, Clap, Clap. Another classic reply from yet another "uneducated law enforcement" officer. Your reply is associated with LEO's who have DUI tunnel vision. Use your high school education to read the rest of the posts on this channel before you show your ass. I'm aware of the 20 min observation period. The purpose of the video is to show that the Intoxilyzer 8000 has serious "problems" with being able to differentiate the difference between mouth alcohol and "true" BrAC.

Very scary, and prosecutors try to use this inaccurate piece of junk. What a waste of tax dollars.

Way to toy with the intox, except, at least in my state, the deprivation period and duplicate test agreement would have invalidated the test you did.

sizzles666, obviously you are one of those individuals who doesnt understand how the Intoxilyzer 8000 functions. The video has "NOTHING" to do with the deprivation period. The video clearly demonstrates that the Intoxilyzer 8000 has serious operational deficiencies differentiating between mouth alcohol (MA) and "true" breath alcohol (BrAC). Opinions like yours not only expose your bias for the state, but your lack of understanding the complexities of infrared spectroscopy & breath testing.

I work with the intox daily and understand it quite well. I think you're missing my point, which is that the safeguards built into the Intox (slope, deprivation assuming it's done correctly, and duplicate tests/agreement), ensure that an accurate test is done.

Is it perfect? Of course not, but every defense expert I've spoken with has conceded that it is, in fact, reasonably related to true BAC, and generally produces somewhat lower readings.

Blah, ba blah, ba blah... yeah I've heard the same from every state witness, the machine is accurate, and then the BIG LIES start coming out, "it's never the machine when there is a malfunction, it's always something else, the simulator, the operator, any other bogus excuse for a testing failure but the "magical" machine.

I guess the problems with FDLE Dept Inspectors and local Agency Inspectors deleting failing test results is more proof of this so called accuracy and reliability, huh? Stay tuned, as Paul Harvey says, for the rest of the story...

The Paul Harvey quote, use that often? ;-)
